Elisa is a neat new Python and Gstreamer based media centre system with a nifty plugin architecture. Over the weekend I’ve put together a little Flickr backend plugin (thanks to philn for spotting a few of my silly mistakes), allowing the use of flickr:// URIs for viewing pictures. It allows for the following locations:
- flickr://user/bees
- flickr://tags/hamster
- flickr://tags/gstreamer,fluendo
- flickr://search/jokosher
- flickr://group/56878019@N00
Requests are split up in to pages (defaulting to 10 pictures per page), with a “Next Page” folder for displaying the next set of pictures. When displaying in a Slideshow this follows the “Next Page” links down, to display all the pictures in a location.
Here’s a screenshot of it displaying flickr://tags/jokosher:
Now I can sit around all day watching slideshows filled with hamsters :).
You scare me…. 🙂

Wow great plugin!
I stumbled across Elisa a coulpe of weeks ago and configured flickr last week-end. Looks great!
Although I have a problem… I see no folder for the “next page” when the number of pictures is greater than the “per page” setting…
Running Gutsy/Elisa 0.3.5
Congrats again!

The flickr plugin has been refactored a lot since I originally wrote it and I haven’t really touched Elisa much since then, so I’m not sure how it’s supposed to behave with large numbers of images. You’d probably do best to ask on the #elisa IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
